Awards and achievements

Investors in People accreditation

Library Services is delighted to have achieved
the Investors in People -
Gold Award. The IIP assessor commented:

This assessment highlighted the consistent and positive way
in which people throughout Library Services experience excellent
leadership and management support, to deliver their job role, and
to seek further career enrichment or progression. The investment
made in learning and development is significant, and frequently
linked to the achievement of professional qualifications. The
variety of learning and development activities demonstrate a keen
interest in being innovative, using the best solutions with
internal resources (examples include staff development hour and
eLearning), together with external events such as conferences,
networking, and courses.

This is a wonderful endorsement of our
commitment to staff development, that has
included protecting the budget for training
and development, and the fortnightly staff development
hour.
